Lta final : Arum Akom v Chris Salisbury

Akom could get so much more out of his serve. A guy with his build and athleticism should have a huge serve. And he takes too big a back swing on his backhand.

But with that said, he is a great player. Wish I was that good.

Salisbury is so good. Much better, changes direction suddenly and has such a smooth stroke with what looks like minimal effort

Even if that was accurate (which it's not), LTA 4.2, which is what they are rated, is 5.0 to low 5.5 according to that link.

Actual 6.0 tennis is futures level, or top 50 Division 1 NCAA. I have a feeling you've never seen that in person.

Salisbury could be a 5.5. Not Arum.

Based upon the tennis in my area of say 5.5 Salisbury maybe high 5.5 he hits a cleaner ball has more put away power it seems (it is one video alone after all). The both seem as if they're leaving a lot on the table in there servic motions and I agree Akoms bh could use a little cleans up. Seems a little long and he got jammed a bit on his bh in a few points. Beyond that I would love to be that good one day. Haha.
